Interesting idea. I don't think anyone else was online at the same time as me? I'd like to see it when other people were active. Nice graphical style too.
Interesting mechanic and liked the way the theme was used.
Got stuck on one of the levels though when it appeared that someone was standing on the stairs and I couldn't go any further. Also really like the corpses left behind, think that is a great touch to see.
This might be my current favorite! Really cool idea. Took me a few minutes to figure out what was happening, but then I saw another player, and I even found a new stairway!!!
I think if you added just one way to.. fail, or die, this could be a really amazing game. Maybe there are trap tiles that cause a bunch to fill back up, and players could mark tiles that are traps?
Really cool, interested to see how far people can go.
I played it with 5 other people. This was fun and even if I don't know who those others where and we could not communicate we had the same goal and worked together. Also I found boots and a hat.
I found the staircase. It was kind of tedious because I was the only one online, but I LOVE the concept. I wish other people would have been online at the same time!
Really nice game! Was almost about to give up as I didn't see the point until I realized what it was. Genious! I got my girlfriend to join up and we found a staircase together, then we made a smiley face on the next level and found another staircase, hopefully nobody will ruin it too much :) Great job overall! One of the best entries so far, definitely top on theme! :)
Hi, got to about 30x30 board I think. Interesting idea as you descend. Shame about no baddies/things to collect - needs another challenge beyond the exit.
I didn't get it until I got to a floor where I couldn't see a way down. Before that, I had been wondering how you're supposed to react to/interact with other players if they are around.
I like the music, but I'm not sure if it fits the idea of hopelessness or not. I also like the fact that you can play until you are tired of it. That fits really well with the title, and subverts the expectation that you'll run out of stamina or something and die if you dig long enough.
I also didn't notice until restarting from the top and looking at the screenshots that the unexplored dirt zones started at yellow and gradually are approaching black. So good.

Hey I just wanted to say that, even though you're placed #455, I thought the tune was awesome! :D

Nice job. This is one of the most interesting games I've seen :)
kind of odd to see corpses moving around though, not sure if that was a bug. I assumed other people would look like you.
(It's a sign that your game is awesome.)
